Sugar Surfeit

Oh, Kay ~ your American origins are showing!! Spotted Dick is a popular British pudding, & it is available here in the U. S., canned as you see. But you are right to question – Spotted Dick contains flour & raisins (the spots), sugar, etc., & you boil it, like plum pudding. When I was looking for something for cock-eyed Ted to stand on, this immediately leaped to mind.

He DO make a statement, don’t he? Thanks, Kay.

Thanks, Scott. You should’ve seen me trying to pry his arm out of the candy basket.

Am awfie glad yer awfie glad. Awfie glad you caught my raging double intentions, too; I canna help mysel’, either. My first plan was to set him up with a jar of Marmite somehow, but I’ve run out (& will probably never replenish the supply), but then I looked at him, I looked at the candy stash, & well, it all came together. DID have the can of puddin’ on hand ~ gave it to my husband as a birthday present…. Thanks ‘n aw.

And thanks for the fave!

Oh, aye… but it comes & goes.

Cock-eyed Ted was given to me by a friend who runs a shop – his ‘real name’, believe it or not, is Sir Ellsworth-the-Gold. Not only is he unintentionally wonky (my friend wasn’t sure how he got through quality control), he also has a funny little bubble in his right eye – can’t really see it in this photo – that could be the pupil gone wrong, or the beginning of a cataract. But he has found a home with us!! Ellsworth-the-Gold, Kt, & I say thank you.

I’m about to fly out the door, but I had to reply to this one posthaste!! This is just hysterical, but nothing surprises me. Has ‘Tumbledown Dick’ met the same fate????

And thanks to thee, RT.

Thanks!
